       A couple things I left out.   
           Mean man Victor Burnett had a son, Will, who was the opposite of   
   Victor. He works in the   
   church until a new priest/pastor can be found. Violet went into the church   
   when she first came  to   
   town and she and Will met, and took a shine to each other. At the end Victor   
   can't kill Harmon   
   Teaster so he shoots at Violet. Will dives in front of the her and is shot and   
   killed by his   
   father.   
           Violet is an Indian, presumably Cherokee, and very attractive. Old   
   Harmon speaks as you   
   would expect for an illiterate backwoodsman/mountain man - bad grammar and   
   mispronunciation of   
   words. Somehow Violet uses perfect grammar and correct pronunciation. Her   
   English shouldn't have   
   been so perfect.
